This is excellent news, BUT will the Council listen to the people?
Already many people have said they do not want a Food waste bin as they have their own compost bin, but have been told that EVERY household will get a Food waste bin - huge waste of money buying the bins that people don't want and won't use, but will have to store at their home. (Or drop it back to the council for them to store!)
Also the idea that rubbish bins will only be collected every fortnight literally stinks! Can only imagine what the bins will smell like in summertime, (disposable nappies etc.) plus for many people they won't be big enough to hold 2 weeks rubbish. So if they insist on going to bins instead of bags (why not go back to the paper bags of yesteryear?) then they will have to be collected weekly, same as rubbish bags are now. Also they should look at two sizes of bins, big ones and small ones, many older people will struggle to put a large bin out, and won't need the capacity of the large bins.
So NP citizens, please make yourselves heard on this subject, in the hope that we will be listened to by Council - but don't hold your breath.
